Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Food Fight

(Fox News) - The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is taking on Al Gore… over his diet.

The Daily Telegraph reports protesters will display billboards during a Gore event in Denver next month. They will show Gore with a drumstick and the words, "Too chicken to go vegetarian? Meat is the No. 1 cause of global warming."

PETA cites United Nations research that says the meat industry is worse for the environment than flying or driving. Says a PETA spokesman, "for Al Gore, the fact that his diet is a leading contributor to global warming is a highly inconvenient truth — pun intended."
